In the 1970s, Ashcroft recorded a gospel record entitled TRUTH: Volume One, Edition One with Missouri legislator Max Bacon. He is also known for writing the book "Lessons from my Father," released in 1997, when it was rumored Ashcroft was considering a run for the [[Republican]] Presidential nomination. The book's title may have been chosen deliberately to contrast with that of [[Barack Obama]]'s first book, "Dreams from my Father" (released 1995), and to indicate that while Obama is a dreamer, Ashcroft is a serious student.
